Back as a starter in midfield, Neil El Aynaoui delivered a good performance during the draw between AJ Auxerre and Racing Club de Lens (2-2). Even if the RCL came from behind twice, the Franco-Moroccan wants to retain the positive.
“We knew it was going to be a fight coming here”introduced Neil El Aynaoui on the club's social networks before adding: “They have not often lost here, like the match against Paris SG last week”. An undeniable observation, as the Auxerrois have made Abbé-Deschamps an almost impregnable lair this season – five wins, two draws and one defeat –.
Scorer at Auxerre
Although the AJA is difficult to maneuver in its stadium, RC Lens knew how to create opportunities and managed to convert them leading to the scoreboard twice. “I think we have to remember the positive. We knew how to create chances, but then it's frustrating when you lead twice and come back. We must remember the positive and quickly move forward”comments the 23-year-old.
Starting alongside Adrien Thomasson, Neil El Aynaoui was in charge of restarting the game for the Sang et Or and in particular distributing these first balls forward. In addition to well-felt openings, he was also the author of the first goal of the match. “We have profiles, whether in the middle, where we can project ourselves quickly from one surface to another. Today it's paying off and I hope it continues », adds the person concerned.
